good nominations, with exalted and intensified citizenship; the attendance of all 
good citizens ; tho registering of their votes, making them eligible for voting at gen- 
eral elections ; making reform of tho Primaries a primary reform, and ending in 
divesting municipal politics from national questions making distinct the voter's 
symjiathy for his state, county or city's household of faith and conduct as against 
his views of party view in general national qnestions which being of general nature 
and eflect, may enlist an<l arouse the voter's national and patriotic impulses as may 
best subserve the greatest good to the greatest number, as their Democratic or 
Kepnblican view may best conclude to vote their sentiments — their national faith,
